The biology of the HIV-1 latent reservoir and implications for cure strategies

LB Cohn, N Chomont, SG Deeks - Cell host & microbe, 2020 - cell.com

integrated HIV genome persists indefinitely within CD4+ T cells and perhaps other cells …

The latent reservoir of inducible, infectious HIV-1 does not decrease despite decades of antiretroviral therapy

NF McMyn, J Varriale, EJ Fray… - The Journal of …, 2023 - Am Soc Clin Investig
HIV-1 persists in a latent reservoir in resting CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy
(ART). The reservoir decays slowly over the first 7 years of ART (t 1/2= 44 months). However …

Parallel analysis of transcription, integration, and sequence of single HIV-1 proviruses

KB Einkauf, MR Osborn, C Gao, W Sun, X Sun, X Lian… - Cell, 2022 - cell.com
HIV-1-infected cells that persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) are frequently
considered" transcriptionally silent," but active viral gene expression may occur in some …

Distinct viral reservoirs in individuals with spontaneous control of HIV-1

C Jiang, X Lian, C Gao, X Sun, KB Einkauf… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Sustained, drug-free control of HIV-1 replication is naturally achieved in less than 0.5% of
infected individuals (here termed 'elite controllers'), despite the presence of a replication …

C Gaebler, L Nogueira, E Stoffel, TY Oliveira, G Breton… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
HIV-1 infection remains a public health problem with no cure. Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is
effective but requires lifelong drug administration owing to a stable reservoir of latent …

A quantitative approach for measuring the reservoir of latent HIV-1 proviruses

KM Bruner, Z Wang, FR Simonetti, AM Bender… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
A stable latent reservoir for HIV-1 in resting CD4+ T cells is the principal barrier to a cure,–.
Curative strategies that target the reservoir are being tested, and require accurate, scalable …

Combination therapy with anti-HIV-1 antibodies maintains viral suppression

P Mendoza, H Gruell, L Nogueira, JA Pai, AL Butler… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Individuals infected with HIV-1 require lifelong antiretroviral therapy, because interruption of
treatment leads to rapid rebound viraemia. Here we report on a phase 1b clinical trial in …

Targeting the latent reservoir for HIV-1

S Sengupta, RF Siliciano - Immunity, 2018 - cell.com
Antiretroviral therapy can effectively block HIV-1 replication and prevent or reverse
immunodeficiency in HIV-1-infected individuals. However, viral replication resumes within …
